“Why are the lunch tables decorated in a chicken house theme?” This is a question a visitor may have asked themselves at the 75th anniversary service of Talladega Creek Baptist Church, Talladega, on Oct. 1. The answer?
Because the first building the church met in was a chicken house.
The joint anniversary and homecoming celebration service focused on what God has done in the past and what He will do in the future, said Pastor Wesley Johnson. During the 9:30 a.m. service — in which there was standing room only — milestones were shared by Martha Sherbert, accompanied by a slideshow of historic pictures.
Former interim pastor Trull Hill brought the morning’s message and the Renfroe Mountain Medicine Show sang special music. A group of children also performed songs.
A commemorative certificate was presented by Mary Staggs on behalf of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission and a fellowship lunch wrapped up the day.
